A 1952 Vision of Space Travel
In the early 1950s, the weekly magazine Collier's sponsored a symposium on space travel. The symposium became three special issues of the magazine. I was eight years old when the those issues came to our house. I couldn't understand much of the text, but I went bug-eyed over the pictures. Chesley Bonstell, who did the backdrops for Destination Moon, created colorful, highly detailed visions of the future: a three-stage rocket design by Werner von Braun, slightly larger than the Saturn V; a cross-section of a circular space station; a lunar colony; astronauts exploring Deimos, backlighted by an enormous Mars. The magazine articles became this book; I got it for Christmas in 1952. I'm replacing that long lost copy so I can actually read the articles. The authors ranged from members of the pre-WWII German Rocket Society to young American scientists who went on to long careers in astrophysics. Some of the most readable material was written by science writer Willy Ley. An amazing book. ... Read more

Excerpt: Hans-Joachim von Merkatz (July 7, 1905 February 25, 1982) was a German politician. He was Federal Minister of Justice from 1956 to 1957. He was a member of the Bundestag from 1949 to 1961. He was a member of the German Party before joining the Christian Democratics in 1960. Merkatz was born at Stargard in the Prussian province of Pomerania into a family of Prussian officers and functionaries, ennobled in 1797. His father, Hauptmann in the German army, died near Vilnius in 1915, during World War I. Merkatz received his primary education in Wiesbaden (Hesse), Jena and Naumburg (both in Thuringia). Initially immatriculated for agriculture, he turned to study law and national economics at the universities of Jena and Munich from 1928 to 1931. Merkatz received his doctorate at the University of Jena in 1934 and his approbation as a lawyer in 1935. The same year, von Merkatz started lecturing foreign and international law at the Kaiser Wilhelm Society in Berlin.

The German-Spanish Society, founded in 1918, was concerned with the public relations to Spain. Since the Nazi take-over of 1933, the society was increasingly incorporated into the Nazi propaganda apparatus, and used to propagate the New Order ideology. When World War II broke out in 1939, he was drafted into Wehrmacht service, but retired in 1941 due to a severe illness.
